Split i'm the "Cho,en FrIends. -

There is a split in the Order of Chosen
Friends, benefit society which has 81, 900
members in this country. The order insures
its members for from $1,000 to $4,000, and
raises the money by assessing each member
81 on each $1,000 Of insurance that he holds
whenever the state of the treasury requires
it. Complaint has been made chiefly against
the supreme councillor, Lawyer Howard H.
Morse of New York. The result has
been that 1000 members in that city and
Brooklyn have withdrawn from the order
and formed new organization under the
title of the Order of True Friends. A meet
ing of the dissatisfied members was held,
where the speakers complained bitterly of
the management of the order and Of the ar
hitrary and unconstitutional acts of the
Grand council. They charge that no salts
factory account was given of the moneys
collected, and it was stated that the only
reason why the law was not invoked was be-
cause there are II lawyers among the su-
preme officers and that they could not fight

A Little Tots Cruel Remark.

Children are very sympathetic.
There's one quite young who's got an
aunt whom she loves very dearly, but
the child does not understand every
thing. The aunt is single. but she does
not hope to be SO long, although judg-
ing by the child's remarks the position
of wife is likely to be very trying one.
The gentleman who is the object Of
fluttering interest has been in the habit
of making long and frequent calls.
These calls the child has studied with
some regard to the aunt she adores.
The last one the child assisted at ended
abruptly.
"Aunty," she said. sadly, (which
would you rather do, talk to Mr.. Jones
or go to funeral?'

gland and ON the Continent.

wealthy Men in the United States, En-
gland and ON the Continent.
Free England and democratic Amer
lea lead the rest of the world in very
rich men. The free play OF modern in
dustries and the absence of paternal
government favor the growth of enor-
nous fortunes in the English-speaking
countries. Outside of the few Jewish
bankers, such as the Rothschilds, and
Herr Krupp, the great gun-maker, there
are very few millionaires on the conti-
nent of Europe. In Prussia, Herr
Krupp has an income Of 100000
marks, about 81, 250, 900 of our money,
on which he pays $50, 200 tax to the
government Next comes Baron Roths-
child of Frankfort, with about $3.50, 900.
and Baron Bleichreder, whose income
is about $500, 900. There are only two
other Prussians with an income over
$500, 900. We beat the world in mil
lionaires. This is accounted for by the
fact that ON the continent the rail-
roads and telegraph are owned mainly
by the government, and the profits on
transportation accrue to the benefit of
the National treasures. In the United
States the railroads aud telegraph are
in private hands, and the manipulation
of their stocks, as we'll as the profits Of
the business, goes to pile up the enor-
nous fortunes of our Jay Goulds, Van
derbilts, Stanfords, Huntingtons, Sages.
not to mention the hundreds of others
who have become millionaires as the
result of manipulation in the stocks Of
corporations. 1t may be worthy Of
note, in passing, that wealthy real es-
tate owners, outside of the Aston family,
are not very common in this country.
Our laws provide for the breaking uT
of great estates upon the death OF tho
head of the house, and this puts 9
check to accumulations of landed
wealth in few hands. But persona
property, in the form Of the ownership
Of shares in corporations, can be better
kept together in this country, and i
will be noticed that in the wills of Com
modore Vanderbilt and his son, Will
lam H., provision was made for con
centrating the wealth on one or two o
the heirs. The Astor estate in New
York has been held together, it is be
